Guest NOTD: Orly Wandering Vine (?) + China Glaze Oxidized Aqua

I have a pretty good memory for my own manicures - I am not quite so good with what my mom has worn LOL, and that's why the question mark disclaimer.  But I have this (rather large) box of all the polishes I have pictures to edit for, and these were in there so I'm pretty sure I've ID'd this combination correctly - a base color of Orly Wandering Vine topped with China Glaze Oxidized Aqua:


More (much more!) to come =)

Thanks for reading.

NOTD: The Evolution of Zoya Holly

It's discouraging when I get behind on things.  And then that leads to procrastination.  And that (obviously) leads to falling even further behind.  I've had a few people ask if I've stopped blogging, and a few others suggest that maybe I should stop blogging.  But I'm not & I won't & I'm re-dedicating myself to getting caught up with this *ahem* nearly 6 month backlog of pics.  And I'm starting today so that July isn't a month with no posts at all.

In an effort to speed things up a bit, I'm not going to be labeling my pics with what kind of light they're taken in anymore.  I think for the most part you guys are pretty used to the 4-5 kinds anyway - the natural lamp, camera flash, shade, sun & occasionally overcast.  I may or may not start doing it again once I'm caught up - we'll see when I get there LOL.

I started with a beautiful green, Zoya Holly:


To which I then added Finger Paints Flecked for some flaky goodness:


And for my final day I topped it with Warpaint Beauty Mattify:


Here's a look at it in motion:



And that's that - if I had more to say at this point I've unfortunately forgotten LOL.  And that may be the case for a lot of these, since they are so old ... but even with nothing for me to say I think they speak for themselves =)

Thanks for sticking around - and thanks for reading.
